Make sure to stop Vmware
service vmware stop
reboot phone
enable tethering
if you want to use your wifi (i.e. use your phone as a wireless adapter), after connecting then you can connect to your wifi network.

If you can’t ping be sure to adjust TTL
Also don’t forget to check your default route.
Simply route del default will fix most problems.
